This was posted on an e-mail I got today. I'm not sure if the actual "story" was true. But apparently a Florida school teacher ran into an immigrant worker from the Dominican Republic (not a citizen) who was going to college. She was recieiving a Pell Grant (Free Money--don't have to pay back) and actually had Pell Grant money left to spare. She was receiving free housing and the grant paid for everything else. The teacher asked her when she planned on becoming a citizen. The girl told her she was not becoming a citizen, but going back to the Dominican Republic when she was done.....

Yes, probably made up. Anyone who has tried for money for their children for college knows it is very difficult to get any. What is more surprising about this stuff is how immigration has recently contributed to hate groups in the US. It is the leading cause of their additional recruits and growth. You can see just how you were affected.

The point of the OP was to find out if anyone else had heard things similar to this and/or whether or not it was true. I didn't expect a barrage of postings pointing out my stupidity for openning unsolicited e-mails. I am smart enough not to post about viagra being cheaper in Canada.

This also wasn't an unsolicited e-mail...it was e-mailed to me by a friend....(maybe he openned an unsolicited e-mail--who knows.).

My point is, has anyone else ever heard of programs like these? The website I posted most definately doesn't seem to be false....

If you don't KNOW that it's true, and if you KNOW it's coming from a completly incredible source, then why do you post this nonsense?

If it's TRUE you'd not doing it to stir the anti-immigrant stew, we can't tell.

First off, I never claimed it was true editec. I posted to see if others had heard things LIKE this. Any other stories similar to this? Anything from personal experience? It was intened to start a decent conversation, however, I see everyone had their cheerios pissed in this morning, and a turd sandwhich for lunch. Damn, I'm going to quit posting today, until you guys take some chill pills
